Did Mario drop a bomb on H-town during his Bills presser?

Any player in any professional sport knows the line “it’s just business.” One month a fan-adored athlete pridefully wears the colors and city name of one team; and then the next month, he might wear some other color scheme with some other logo for some other city on the map.

When a player gets traded, cut or signed, he always knows “it’s just business.” Mario Williams, who we can now call a former Texans defender, signed a six-year deal with the Bills. So now he can adore Buffalo and the chicken wings, frigid weather and hockey fans that come with being a resident of that city.

During his news conference with the media in Buffalo on Thursday, Williams shared his excitement with the people in the room and boasted his eagerness to get on the field as a Buffalo Bill. But he slipped in one weird comment that I can’t really accept without the need for follow-up questions to be asked. Watch this one-minute video from the news conference and see if this one line stands out to you, too.

This line definitely needs interpretation.

“I’ve dealt with more adversity than most,” Williams said during his introduction as a member of the Bills.

I’m sorry, what?

Mario fought through an injury-interrupted rookie season in the shadow of the ever-exciting Vince Young. But VY failed eventually and hasn’t really returned, and so did Reggie Bush. And most of Houston’s VY worshippers eventually faced reality and joined the Super Mario fan base. He’s no Brian Cushing, but that dude became a beloved Texans player soon enough.

So, Mario, I hope the guaranteed $50 million from Buffalo – along with the $40 million you got from Houston – is enough to erase the painful memories of all that adversity you endured with the oh-so-pathetic Texans franchise. You poor thing.

As for me, I choose to fight through adversity and play with Luigi instead when I play whatever game that is on the Wii with my godson.
